What does it mean to be a Jesus Christ follower, not just a Christian?

October Targeted Devotional Prayers

Step into this month with Hope, Power, and Stillness. Be wrapped up in the love of the Father today.

October 21-27 - Stillness

Psalm 23:3: He restores my soul. Holy Spirit I pray that the incredible shalom that lives in your atmosphere, would simply penetrate to the heart and soul of every person.

Breath it in. Shalom is being released all over you.

Shalom is the atmosphere of heaven; it is so powerful. Shalom has an authority to crush all the power of chaos that is fighting for your mind and emotions.  So, I simply release shalom over you; to consume our souls. Even if our world is experiencing earthquake conditions, rocking, rolling and reeling, there is a place in you Lord, where we can experience rest, peace, and stillness for our soul. Peace like a river flows now; all worry, stress, anxiety, is leaving and peace is flooding our souls. Thank you Lord, amen.

October 14-20 - His Powerful Attributes

Lord, we thank you for loving us the way you love us. We thank you for touching our hearts with your passionate love, because that passion ignites our heart for a renewed passion for you. You told us in Deuteronomy 4 that you are a consuming fire. We want your burning heart released into our hearts.

Lord, release your waves of passion for us. Seal us with the consuming flame of fire. I pray your affection would fall on us right now and awaken our hearts to an increased passion and hunger for you. Amen.

October 7-13 - Upgrades of Hope and Power

Lord, release a hunger in our hearts for more and more and more; beyond anything we have ever experienced in our lives. I pray for a fulfillment and an enlargement of our hearts. Increase our capacity for you.  As passionate hungry people, let this spirit of love expand in our hearts so we feel like we cannot take anymore. 

I pray for a passion for your fullness to fill us up until we are wholly filled and flooded with God Himself.

Thank You Lord-Amen.

September 30-October 6 - Our Responses

Lord, it is impossible for us to wrap our mind around how deeply you love us. I ask that you continue to overwhelm us with your unexplainable love. Would you continue to awaken our hearts to new places of being captured by you, and new places of surrender to you?

 

As we face external pressures, help us to turn away from them, and relocate ourselves into our internal world where you reside. As we abide in you, and you abide in us, lift us to a higher place in the heartbeat of your affections where all circumstances would be robbed of all their ability and power to cause anxiety, worry and stress. Overwhelm each one of us with shalom. Thank you Lord. Amen.
